If you were an alien planning on taking over the Earth, how would you go about it? Well, that isn't the topic of this post, but rather a well-documented UFO encounter in 1952. From the Daily Mail (where I apparently get a lot of my "news"):The sighting by an RAF fighter pilot on a training mission over West Germany in 1952 has been revealed for the first time by papers released by the Churchill Archive at Cambridge University.
Flight Sergeant Roland Hughes was returning to base when he was followed by a 'gleaming silver, metallic disc' which flew alongside him before disappearing at incredible sped.
The object was caught by RAF radars, which confirmed it was travelling at speeds far greater than possible for any aircraft of the time.
Hughes reported the sighting and was sent to visit Duncan Sandys, then aviation minister, to give his account in person.
He described seeing a flash of 'silver light' which rapidly descended towards him until he could see that it was a 'gleaming silver-metallic disc'.
He said its surface was shiny, 'like tin foil', and 'without a single crease or crinkle'.
He could see, with 'astonishing clarity', the craft's 'highly reflective and absolutely seamless metallic-looking surface'.
Flying at high altitude in clear visibility in his de Havilland Vampire, he estimated its size at 100ft across - 'about the wingspan of a Lancaster bomber'.
None of the other three pilots - all returning to RAF Oldenburg in northern West Germany - saw the object because they were executing a 'banking turn' and not looking in the same direction.
Six days later, Hughes was sent to RAF Fassberg in West Germany to give his account to senior RAF officers and Sandys.
The minister's first question was how many beers Hughes had drunk the night before.
However, in the end he was so taken by the then 23-year-old Hughes' story that he went on to brief senior civil servants, telling them he was convinced it was true.

Las situaciones vividas en Colares (0s5612, 48w1654 - Brasil) and Caron'ia (38n01, 14e26 - Italia) demandan nuestra atenci'on, habilidades, cooperaci'on e intercambio de conocimiento cient'ifico.
Necesitamos tipificar las situaciones. Necesitamos aislar trozos de informaci'on que proveen elementos clave.
Tenemos que comparar ambas situaciones para ver qu'e es lo que tienen en com'un y en qu'e son diferentes.
Y finalmente, estamos desafiados a encontrar una explicaci'on l'ogica, aceptable y racional.
La negaci'on es irracional y absurda. Las explicaciones forzadas o fant'astiacs tampoco son aceptables.
Esta es una exhortaci'on a trabajar seriamente porque estas dos situaciones nos proveen una oportunidad 'unica en su tipo.
Somos un estupendo Grupo de gente talentosa, muchos de los cuales tienen una s'olida formaci'on y experiencia cient'ifica. M'as a'un, somos un Grupo internacional, y por lo tanto podemos aportar la riqueza de diferentes culturas.
Si somos capaces de unir nuestras fuerzas y de sumar nuestros conocimientos, pensamos que podemos alcanzar un muy alto nivel de estudio, y dar frutos de los cuales podremos sentirnos orgullosos.
El an'alisis aqu'i propuesto tiene que ver directamente con la raz'on misma de nuestra existencia como Grupo.
"Como primeros pasos a dar, necesitamos recolectar tanta informaci'on como sea posible acerca de ambas situaciones.
Esperamos que nuestros colegas brasile~nos, el Ing. Claudeir Covo y el Sr. Kentaro Mori puedan contribuir grandemente a tal prop'osito, en relaci'on a Colares.
Y esperamos que nuestro colega italiano, el astrof'isico Massimo Teodorani, pueda tambi'en compartir con nosotros tanto material como sea posible, acerca de Caron'ia.
Todos reconocemos el importante papel que desempe~na la prensa, pero tambi'en, que la prensa no es habitualmente la mejor fuente de informaci'on en la que podemos confiar. Por lo tanto, toda la informaci'on desarrollada por investigadores, cient'ificos o fuentes militares ser'an de primordial relevancia.
Hasta ahora tenemos considerable informaci'on acerca de Colares -buena parte de la misma procedente de fuentes oficiales- y escasa acerca de Caron'ia, sobre la que hay abundante material period'istico y videos.
Toda la informaci'on deber'a ser compartida en su totalidad y abundantemente a trav'es del Foro.
Con ella en nuestras manos, podemos comenzar a desarrollar una estrategia para nuestro trabajo. ?A qui'en le vamos a pedir un an'alisis particular sobre lo sucedido?
En procura de ese prop'osito podemos integrar nuevos miembros a nuestro Grupo, o confidencialmente pedir a algunos profesionales que conocemos, que nos ayuden con ciertos puntos espec'ificos, y luego informar y compartir sus hallazgos.
Esto realmente va a resultar en un estudio entusiasmante y extraordinario.
!Remangu'emonos y empecemos a trabajar!

.Campers in the Lake District were treated to a spectacular light show from a string of glowing orbs which flew in formation across the night sky.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5541750/UFOs-spotted-over-Lake-District.htmlIt is the latest in a series of sightings which has baffled onlookers and excited UFO spotters across the UK.The lights were seen above Ullswater on Saturday night over the Park Foot campsite.People rushed out of their tents to stand and watch in awe as the lights darted back and forth.They weaved in and out of one another and appeared to fade and then light up again as they soared through a clear sky.Camper Paul Haigh, 28, of Darlington, said: "Most people had turned in for the night but we were woken by a commotion."Someone had spotted something and dashed out to get a better look."Soon everyone was outside their tents and looking up into the sky, it was like a scene from Close Encounters."The lights were amazing and seemed to fly in formation, they were darting around, fading an lighting up again."There was ever more than six in the sky at any one time, but as one faded another lit up, it was a really weird spectacle."There were various theories as to what they were, someone said Chinese lanterns, but they seemed much too big and moving too fast."They looked as though they were being propelled under their own power rather than being blown by the wind, it was a still night."Lucy Gray, 26, of Leeds, said: "They seemed to be dancing around in the sky, not just racing straight across it like clouds."They were moving in formation, keeping a regular distance apart and they'd all shift around at the same time."It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen and I can't explain it, unless they were aircraft on a training exercise."[Source: telegraph.co.uk]

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:
g ABODES - NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has found evidence of a collision between two burgeoning planets around a young star. The two objects, one as big as our moon and the other as big as Mercury, could provide information about how collisions affect the development of planets in young solar systems. See article.
g MESSAGE - There's a nice summary of various astrobiological authors on the Fermi Paradox, or the question of why, if there supposedly are so many aliens, we haven't met any of them yet, at this site.
g COSMICUS - The U.S. plan to return astronauts to the moon by 2020 will not happen without a big boost in NASA's budget, leaving only the International Space Station as a viable target for the country's human space program, according to a presidential review panel. See article.
g AFTERMATH - Some of the best discussion of the consequences of alien contact occurs in science fiction. Here's a novel that ranks among the most important in that dialogue: Arthur C. Clark's "Songs of a Distant Earth." Look for it at your library or local used book store.

The international space station (ISS) partners are currently discussing a possibility to stage an extraordinary photo opportunity in March that would yield photo and video images of the space station with all current U.S., RUSSIAN, European and Japanese spacecraft docked at the outpost, the press service of the RUSSIAN FEDERAL SPACE AGENCY ROSCOSMOS said.If all goes well and space shuttle Discovery arrives at the International Space Station in late February, there will be a distinctive configuration: all of the international partners will have a vehicle docked to the completed ISS.NASA advanced a proposal to put three astronauts in one of the Russia's Soyuz capsules that are docked to the station, have them undock and fly around to take pictures of the entire complex. Station skipper Scott Kelly and Russian flight engineers Alexander Kaleri and Oleg Skripochka would climb aboard their Soyuz spacecraft and then back away to a vantage point where they could capture images of the entire outpost.The photo shooting would be carried out only if all higher-priority work is completed by the arrival of Discovery shuttle, reports RIA NOVOSTI. Readers may follow SPACE STATION SIGHTINGS "HERE"."This remarkable photo was taken by ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli from the ISS on 16 February 2011, just minutes after ATV Johannes Kepler lifted off on board an Ariane 5 from Kourou at 22:50 UTC. It shows the rising exhaust trail of Ariane, still in its initial vertical trajectory. The trail can be seen as a thin streak framed just beneath the Station's remote manipulator arm.

In June 1947, Kenneth Arnold became a world-wide celebrity after his sighting of "flying saucers" over Mount Rainier. His notoriety traveled fast and wide, so much so, that had he initiated the modern day UFO era today instead of in 1947, he would probably have been offered the lead role in his own reality TV series. Arnold's story had all of the essential ingredients of a good old fashioned fire side tale that even Hollywood would be hard pressed to replicate: faster-than-man-made aircraft flying through the air, crashed saucers on the ground, Men in Black, Military Intelligence investigations, etc. Quicker than a Roswellian scout craft, Arnold's account jumped off the Associated Press wire and built itself into the UFO perpetual motion machine of Americana that it is today.
Sensational! Full of Intrigue! Amazing Story! Unbelievable but True! That's the way we Americans like our news - diced up, double fried and served hot - anything to keep us from being reminded of our dreary existence. Arnold's story was all of that and more. There's a reason why William Randolph Hearst could afford to build mansions and castles - he knew the value of Yellow Journalism and profited immensely from it.
But wait! It wasn't Hearst's International New Service (INS) that broke the flying saucer news, but its competitor the Associated Press (AP). And the AP's greater rival, the United Press (UP) would have to wait a good month before it could get the scoop on both the AP and the INS with the Maury Island investigation, also starring, yes you guessed it, Kenneth Arnold.
So what's my point? Well if you spent enough time digging through old 1947 newspapers, and only paid attention to the sensational flying saucer stories, you would have missed half of the story.
You would have missed the June 13-15 "Bigger than the Atomic Bomb" Top Secret Research project story that made headlines around the world, courtesy of the Canadian Press(CP) and picked up by the AP. This was the same incredible story I have conclusively proven as disinformation - not just another Conspiracy theory - but based on irrefutable hard evidence through declassified documents. Read my paper at:
The Greatest Cold War Secret Never Told - UFOs - Creation of a Myth
If you only cared about the flying pie plate stories and crashed balloons, you would have also missed the June 13, 1947 story, also courtesy of the AP, of a contract that the US Amy Air Force allegedly awarded the Douglas Aircraft Corporation to build an aircraft capable of travelling 2,200 MPH and flying at a height of 35 - 50 miles. A great feat considering that it took competing Airplane manufacturer Lockheed, almost fifteen years to develop the SR-71 Blackbird that was capable of attaining that speed. Perhaps the contract money instead went to Douglas' founding of the Army Air Force Think Tank known as the RAND Corporation as no aircraft Douglas ever worked on seems to fit the bill of this mystery contract.
And if you were just focused on the Roswell captured saucer but deflated as a balloon story, you would have also missed the July 12, 1947 article that detailed renowned Harvard scientist Doctor Walter Orr Robert's description of an 8,500 MPH "Neptune" rocket project from White Sands, New Mexico that could cross the United States in 26 minutes. The very next day, the Army would not comment, "explaining that the newest rocket referred to was a Navy project about which the Army would say nothing." Indeed, you would be hard pressed to find any such rocket in the annals of missile history.
Taken individually, each of these stories is either proven disinformation, anachronistic or just weird with the military communicating big lies to the press. Taken together as a concerted plan to use the media to push out a message, not to the the American Public, who like Arnold implicitly trusted Government (I know, hard to believe considering today's conspiracy mindful public) but instead to our perceived enemies at the time, the Soviets, then from the perspective of a Grand Deception operation, they make complete sense.
And before you start pooh-poohing this mass deception notion and label it as just another Conspiracy Theory, perhaps you should study your Kenneth Arnold and Maury Island a little bit closer before passing judgment. Don't chuck the inconvenient details that don't seem to fit an ET explanation like:1. When Kenneth Arnold landed at Yakima, Washington, and told his story to Al Baxter, Al called in some of his helicopter pilots into the room, one of the pilots exclaiming: "Ah, those are just a bunch of guided missiles coming out of Moses Lake." Never mind, that guided missiles were not being developed out of Moses Lake at that time or that a lowly helicopter pilot would even know this. Poor suggestible and na"ive Arnold not only accepted this theory but fed it to the press.
2. When Arnold first reported his sighting to the East Oregonian in Pendleton (who put it on the AP wire), lo and behold, an "unknown man" told Arnold he had seen the exact same objects over Ukiah. How convenient.
3. Never mind, that when Arnold flew to Seattle that he just happened to be in the right place and at the right time to meet up with United Airlines Pilot E. J. Smith and Copilot Ralph Stevens at the INS offices, with Arnold, Smith and Stevens posing for the INS reporter while looking at UFO photos taken by another Seattle man, Frank Ryman. What a photo opportunity dream come true.
4. Consider that Arnold flew unannounced to Tacoma, Washington to investigate the Maury Island incident and couldn't find a room in town until he contacted the Winthrop Hotel which mysteriously had a room booked under his name, a reservation Arnold did not make.
5. Consider that this same room 502 at the Winthrop was bugged and Arnold's conversations leaked to the United Press reporters. Arnold was adamant about not talking to reporters, but someone else really wanted this story out and on the newswire.
6. Consider that the Winthrop Hotel was conveniently right across the street from the United Press office in downtown Tacoma.
7. And who was the manager of the United Press office? A man by the name of Howard Applegate, whose family member Rex Applegate was a prominent member of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the predecessor of the CIA. There are less degrees of separation here than Kevin Bacon to the Queen of England.In summary, Kenneth Arnold's story and all of the other military concocted stories I have listed were not meant for the consumption of Joe American, but for Joe Stalin and company. Why? Well if you were as afraid of the intentions of the Soviets back in 1947 as our American leaders were, you would make up stories too to prevent a hot war from igniting. Of course you wouldn't go through all of this trouble unless you could reap some additional benefits from it. But those other reasons will be the subject of another blog entry.
